Date this sheet was completed/updated: Designated: 12 September 1995 / Updated: May 2005 3. Country: UK (England) 4. Name of the Ramsar site: Woodwalton Fen 5. Map of site included: a) hard copy (required for inclusion of site in the Ramsar List): yes -or- no b) digital (electronic) format (optional): Yes 6. Geographical coordinates (latitude/longitude) : 52º 26’ 36’’ N 00º 11’ 25’’ W 7. General location: Nearest town/city: Peterborough The site lies 12 km due south of Peterborough. Administrative region: Cambridgeshire 8. Elevation (average and/or max. & min.) (metres) : 9. Area (hectares) : 208 Min. No information available Max. No information available Mean No information available 10. Overview: The site consists of a range of wetland communities, once characteristic of large areas of the East Anglian fens but now restricted to a number of isolated sites. Due to past management the site now has several types of open fen and swamp communities. There is also a relict area of acid peat, some mixed fen and an important network of ditches. The site supports an appreciable assemblage of wetland plants and invertebrates. 11. Ramsar Criteria: 1, 2 Ramsar Information Sheet: Page 1 of 5 Produced by JNCC: Version 3.0, 13/09/2007 Information Sheet on Ramsar Wetlands (RIS), page 2 12. Justification for the application of each Criterion listed in 11. above: Ramsar criterion 1 The site is within an area that is one of the remaining parts of East Anglia which has not been drained. The fen is near natural and has developed where peat-digging took place in the 19th century. The site has several types of open fen and swamp communities. Ramsar criterion 2 The site supports the British Red Data Book endangered fen violet (Viola persicifolia ); the critically endangered fen wood (Luzula pallidula ) and the Fen ragwort ( Senecio paludosus ). Woodwalton also supports a large number of wetland invertebrates including 20 British Red Data Book species. Aquatic beetles, flies and moths are particularly well represented. Secretariat Comment: the scientific names of the 20 British Red Data Book species need to be included in the next update. 13. Biogeography: a) biogeographic region: Atlantic b) biogeographic regionalisation scheme (include reference citation): Council Directive 92/43/EEC 14. Physical features of the site: Soil & geology acidic, neutral, clay, peat Geomorphology and landscape lowland Nutrient status no information pH acidic, circumneutral Salinity fresh Soil mainly organic Water permanence usually permanent Summary of main climatic features Annual averages (Cambridge, 1971–2000) (www.metoffice.com/climate/uk/averages/19712000/sites/c ambridge.html) Max. daily temperature: 14.1° C Min. daily temperature: 6.1° C Days of air frost: 41.9 Rainfall: 553.5 mm Hrs. of sunshine: 1501.2 General description of the Physical Features: No information available 15.

General ecological features: The site was once a raised bog and was dug for peat which removed most of the acidic peat, exposing the underlying fen peat. The open fen and swamp communities present today are, therefore, of several types. A relict area of acid peat holds stands of Molinia caerulea with Calluna vulgaris , Myrica gale , Potentilla erecta and Cladium mariscus . A further swamp community is dominated by Calamagrostis epigejos . Mixed fen covers a significant part of the site. This vegetation community is floristically rich and contains species such as Thalictrum flavum , Iris pseudacorus , Poa palustris , Luzula pallidula and Viola persicifolia . The network of ditches on the site hold many uncommon British plant species and two meres have been dug which are also valuable for aquatic plants. Further habitats of significance include marshy grassland, birch and alder woodland and fen carr. The carr is varied in composition and contains Salix spp., Prunus spinosa , Betula spp. and Viburnum opulus . 19. Noteworthy flora: Nationally important species occurring on the site. Higher Plants. Viola persicifolia Luzula pallidula 20. Noteworthy fauna: Species Information Assemblage. The site supports a diverse assemblage of invertebrates including Perizoma sagittata and Chortodes extrema . 21. Social and cultural values: Aesthetic Archaeological/historical site Non-consumptive recreation 22. Land tenure/ownership: Ownership category On-site Off-site Private + + 23. Current land (including water) use: Activity On-site Off-site Nature conservation + Research + Permanent pastoral agriculture + 24. Factors adversely affecting the site’s ecological character, including changes in land (including water) use and development projects: Explanation of reporting category: 1. Those factors that are still operating, but it is unclear if they are under control, as there is a lag in showing the management or regulatory regime to be successful. 2. Those factors that are not currently being managed, or where the regulatory regime appears to have been ineffective so far. NA = Not Applicable because no factors have been reported.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

CB7 5XP Visitor Centre telephone 01353 720274, Email [email protected] www.nationaltrust.org.uk/wicken-fen/ Wicken Fen nature reserve is owned by the National Trust. It currently totals 764 hectares (1887 acres), of which the designated National Nature Reserve is 255 ha and this includes the 163 ha of the core fen habitat on deeper peats that have not been drained for agriculture. The land area of the reserve has increased by more than 2.5-fold since the early 1990s, with the purchase by the Trust of several areas of land which is in the process of restoration to create a much larger nature reserve for wildlife and people. The very rare Fen Violet was re-discovered in May 2014, at the very location on Verrall’s Fen at Wicken where it was last seen in 1999 (photo Pete Stroh). 1 Introduction Welcome to the latest annual edition of the Wicken Fen Wildlife Newsletter. The aim of this Newsletter is keep you informed of what is going on and what wildlife is being recorded here at Wicken Fen nature reserve. We hope you find the contents interesting and that you might be encouraged to get involved, come and visit and tell us what you find. Wicken Fen is managed by a professional team guided by advisors and a highly experienced and knowledgeable Local Committee. In 2014, we welcomed a new Strategic Manager to lead the Wicken team, Joan Childs, who comes to the National Trust with a wealth of experience from working at the RSPB.
